Installing a Drainage System for Your Wet Basement

Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry. Some of these methods are more effective than others. The most reliable, economical, and effective solution is to utilize a drainage system, such as the WaterGuard Non-Clogging Basement Waterproofing System or the DryTrak drainage system. These systems are installed in the interior-perimeter of your basement, draining water into a sump pump and out away from your home, alleviating the water around your foundation. Other methods don’t work, or installation of these unreliable systems causes disruption to your yard, landscaping, and home. These methods include:

Exterior Excavation - this requires that the earth around the foundation of your home be dug up to expose the footing and then a pipe or footing drain be installed around the full perimeter of your home. This is not only a huge project that causes much disruption to your yard, landscaping, deck, patio, driveway, etc.; but also costs a lot and if it doesn't work, the solution is to re-dig the earth again and fix or unclog the footing drain. This is typically the waterproofing systems that failed to begin with!

Negative-side Sealant - this is a waterproof paint or cement that may solve a small leak in the short term, but since it doesn't address the water that sits around the foundation, is akin to the dutch boy who stuck his thumb in the dyke... eventually this water sitting against the foundation is going to find its way into your basement.

French Drains – French drains are actually part of a interior drainage system similar to the systems we noted above. French drains are effective at first, but they become easily clogged because they sit in the mud. The WaterGuard drainage system is an extremely effective alternative to French Drains. The WaterGuard system does not clog and it allows moisture to freely flow into a sump pump and out away from your home.

Another challenge for subfloor systems is to set up the system to accept water from the walls without leaving a large unsightly gap at the edge of the floor which can collect dirt and debris from the floor - another potential for clogging the drain. WaterGuard and DryTrak both accept water from the walls with clean, finished looks.
